~ Commissioner McGuirk expressed concern that Lots 10, 11, and 1 might be too dark with the adja=nt retaining walls. Mr. Beratlis noted they have a sou ern exposure with the lots actually facing west. He did not think they would be too dark. . Beratlis and Mr. Alexander went to the Commission and pointed out the retaining alls. Becky Dennis, 838 Grey Fox Circle, asked abOut the changes that were made in the revised conditions. She felt this is a high impact project on the neighborh and wanted to be sure the revised conditions were satisfactory. So far she felt the condi ons were satisfactory. She requested time to study them, and she and Mr. Beratlis went t the back of the room for discussion. Commissioner McGuirk discussed lot configuration with Mr. Swif. Commissioner Wright commented that he would favor the elimina 'on of one lot, and that the 450 sq. ft. of garage was a favorable condition. At this time Ms. Dennis returned to the podium and said she is sa . sfied with the revised conditions for the project. Commissioner McGuirk stated he appr iated her working with Mr. Beratlis. In response to Commissioner McGuirk's question, s. Dennis said they had discussed eliminating one of the lots, but decided to focus on wor 'ng with what was there. Chairman Mahem noted that the big issues are the change of 800 q. ft. for the garage to 450 sq. ft., and the possible elimination of one lot. At this point, Mr. Beratlis said he felt the Commission was going ackward; that the project has already been approved for 15 lots. It was noted that the trad ff was 15 lots for single story houses and the developer would build a sign for Foxbrough states. Commissioner Hovingh wanted reassurance that the developer wo ld discourage speculators from taking part in the project. Mr. Beratlis indicated this was n a possibility. TIlE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CWSED. Commissioner McGuirk noted that he appreciated the work done y Mr. Beratlis and the neighbors, but simply could not support the project because of the retaining walls. He felt they were too overpowering for the houses. He would also favor e elimination of one lot. Chairman Mahem felt the project had some problems, but felt tha compromises have been made and could support it at this time. A motion was made by Commissioner Michelotti, seconded by C mmissioner Horan finding that the "de Minimis impact" finding is appropriate for this case d recommending approval Minutes Planning Commission January 8, 1992 Page 16
